Student Ambassadors

How it works

Schools are asked to elect two Student Ambassadors at the beginning of every year. Ambassadors have three jobs. These are to:

Inform other pupils in their school about the Children’s Commissioner for Wales and her work

Make sure other pupils know about young people’s rights under the UNCRC.

Do special missions for the Commissioner in their school – these inform the work of our office and have a real impact on our work and on children and young people’s rights in Wales

5 reasons to join

Information collected through the scheme feeds directly into our work, meaning that our Student Ambassadors have a real impact on children’s rights in Wales.

The scheme provides an exciting and interactive way for children in your school to learn about their rights, in accordance with the UNCRC, which underpins the Welsh Government’s vision for education.

The scheme supports the Four Purposes of the developing curriculum in Wales, providing meaningful opportunities for children to develop as healthy, confident individuals and participate as ethical, informed citizens in their school and on a national level.

Celebrate your Student Ambassadors’ work with schools across Wales in our Twitter #RightsHour, every Friday lunchtime (12-1pm). Use the hashtag to share your positive work on children’s rights and we’ll RT your good work to our followers.
